What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We clean the chip, pull the air out of the damaged area under vacuum, and inject an optical-grade resin that is then UV-cured and polished. The repair restores most of the glass strength and stops the damage from spreading. It works best on chips smaller than a quarter that are caught early.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Small star or bullseye mark from a stone hit
  • A chip you can catch a fingernail on
  • White or cloudy spot on the windshield
  • A small chip that seems to be slowly growing
If you delay

Temperature swings and road vibration turn small chips into long cracks, and a cracked windshield means full replacement instead of a low-cost repair.
